Audi presents a versatile concept car at Auto Shanghai 2017 this spring. The four-door gran turismo Audi e-tron Sportback concept comes with a 320kW electric drive. The formal idiom combines classic Audi elements with an array of trendsetting details - an electrifying architecture, tailored consistently to the technology and package of the electric drive.

The Audi e-tron Sportback represents an important milepost for Audi along the road to electric mobility. Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of Audi AG, confirmed, "Our Audi e-tron will be starting out in 2018 - the first electric car in its competitive field that is fit for everyday use."

"With a range of over 500km and the special electric driving experience, we will make this sporty sport utility vehicle the must-have product of the next decade. Following close on its heels, in 2019, comes the production version of the Audi e-tron Sportback - an emotional coupe version that is thrillingly identifiable as an electric car at the very first glance."
